What is REC
Built by UE pros.
Battle-tested for production.
REC – Core Edition is the free, fully-featured base tier of REC — a high-performance Unreal Engine plugin for recording viewports and windows directly to disk or streaming. It's an effortless, low-overhead capture solution for both in-editor and in-game capture, up to 2K.
A capture pipeline designed for real workflows: zero extra fluff, zero dropped frames — just reliable, maximum-quality capture directly inside Unreal Engine.
